Climbing Higher

DAY 3 OF 5

As my daughter and I continued our hike, we encountered the most challenging part of the trail: a steep climb over broken rocks. We saw a man and woman sliding down, defeated, saying, "Forget it. I can't do it. This is too much." They were so close to the top but chose to turn back. I couldn’t believe it. Watching kids climb up beside them, I wondered what made them give up.

Not everyone will understand or support your journey. Be discerning about who you share your dreams with and who you allow to influence you. Surround yourself with those who uplift and encourage you. My daughter believes she can climb mountains because I am present. Just like God is present in my life, I believe I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Determined, we pushed through the steep climb, and soon we were just steps away from the top.

Think about the people in your life. Are they helping you climb higher or pulling you down? Pray for wisdom and courage to surround yourself with positive influences.
